Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my mother [inaudible] restaurant so,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my brother and I before going to school\Nwalk with my mother to the market,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she would walk the market one way, \Nabout 1/2 a mile, and buy on her way back.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Buying a case of mushrooms \Nwhich was getting dark,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe for a third of the price or less.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We carried, of course, \Nwe didn't have a car at the time.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so she'd have chicken of the day, meat,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fish, usually, whiting or mackerel \Nor skate -- inexpensive fish,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that she has to use it that day.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the day after, \Nwe start all over again.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everything was organic, \Neverything was local.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The word organic did not exist, really,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[because] chemical fertilizers \Ndid not exit either,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so everything was, local and organic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went into apprenticeship, \NI was 13 years old and, at that time,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was very structured,\Nwell, still is to certain extend,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have to be willing,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's discipline, it's structure,\Nthat's the way a kitchen can work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We learn through a type of osmosis.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The chef never really explained anything, \Nhe'd just say, "Do that".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you say, "Why?", and \Nhe'd say, "Because I just told you".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was about the end \Nof the apprenticeship.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Probably, just as good \Nfor someone 13-14 years old.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we worked, repeating, and repeating,\Nand repeating those techniques ad nauseam,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were not allowed\Nto go to the stove for a year.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, during that year,\NI plucked a lot of chicken,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eviscerated a lot of chicken, \Nscaled fish, chopped parsley,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of that type of things,\Nand then the chef called me --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My name was [Hugues] at the time,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then by the time I went to the stove\Nthey called me Jacques, so I got the name.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "You start tomorrow".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I start tomorrow?"\NI didn't know how to do it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but when I went to the stove,\NI knew how to do it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was through that type of osmosis,\Nthings that you show,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've got a book called, "La technique",\Nthat I published in 1975,
